AMD’s AFMF 2 gives you more frames for free on Ryzen AI 300 laptops

From PC World: AMD is offering gamers an early version of what it calls AMD Fluid Motion Frames 2 (AFMF2), an AI-powered technology that creates additional frames per second for those gamers with laptops powered by AMD Ryzen AI 300 processors. The improvements appear significant: about 30 to 40 percent.

Specifically, AMD says that AFMF 2 will boost frame rates in Cyberpunk: 2077 from 56 frames (1080p, Low settings, Balanced FSR) to about 100 FPS using the new technology, and other games will see a similar boost. For now, AMD is offering AFMF 2 as a technical preview, though the technology will be added to AMD’s Adrenalin Edition software at a later date.

AFMF2 is the second generation of the AFMF technology AMD launched in January. The Adrenalin Edition software offers several tools to enhance gameplay; Radeon Super Resolution, for example, upscales a rendered frame of a game to approximate a higher-resolution scene.

Gamers tend to prefer the highest frame rates at the highest resolution at the highest visual quality possible. AFMF2 addresses the first portion of that, using AI and artificially creating additional frames in between what the game demands the GPU draw. The additional frames smooth out the gameplay experience, making it look and feel like a more powerful GPU is in place. All of these new capabilities are stored within what AMD calls its HYPR-RX profiles for games.
